We have an exact requirement, but it is not like chj's where it is on two different mountpoints. The files are on one directory and one mount point. All we need to do is update the timestamp of the file so they don't automatically get purged due to aging by our retention policy.
I used the exact code for the same requirement...but it does not work. We have AIX box and use ksh shell. I believe it is due to that...
Instead I was trying to use it this way. It does change the timestamp, but I would like to pass the timestamp as a parameter like you suggested
so when we run this on a monthly basis it will change the timestamp as of the run date.
In additon to that, how can we also make the code work so it only picks the files that we need? Should we pass a list file as a parameter which has the list of files that need to be touched with the new timestamp?
I have to capture the creation date and time stamp for a file. The ls command doesn't list all the required information. I need year, month, day, hour, minute and second.
Any ideas... (1 Reply)

Hi !

idate
IDATE(3) 1 IDATE(3)idate - Format a local time/date as integer
SYNOPSIS
int idate (string $format, [int $timestamp = time()])
DESCRIPTION
Returns a number formatted according to the given format string using the given integer $timestamp or the current local time if no time-

o $timestamp
- The optional $timestamp parameter is an integer Unix timestamp that defaults to the current local time if a $timestamp is not
given. In other words, it defaults to the value of time(3).
RETURN VALUES
Returns an integer.
As idate(3) always returns an integer and as they can't start with a "0", idate(3) may return fewer digits than you would expect. See the
example below.
ERRORS /EXCEPTIONS
Every call to a date/time function will generate a E_NOTICE if the time zone is not valid, and/or a E_STRICT or E_WARNING message if using
the system settings or the $TZ environment variable. See also date_default_timezone_set(3)CHANGELOG

|Version | |

+--------+---------------------------------------------------+
| 5.1.0 | |
| | |
| | Now issues the E_STRICT and E_NOTICE time zone |
| | errors. |

EXAMPLES
Example #1
idate(3) example
<?php
$timestamp = strtotime('1st January 2004'); //1072915200
// this prints the year in a two digit format
// however, as this would start with a "0", it
// only prints "4"
echo idate('y', $timestamp);
?>
